ROsHRAsHANAH.

Opening of the Jewish Hol1days.Last
 EvenIng.--Hovv the Jewish New Year
 Will be observed.
 The Jewish religious year is opened by one of the most solemn festivals in the Jewish calendar, that of "Rosh Hashanah" or New Year. The festival commenced last evening at dusk and lasts for the more re- formed congregations until this evening, for the orthodox until tomorrow evening. The services at the Court street synagogue will be of an unusually impressive nature, for the Jewish New Year forms more solemn char acter than does our ordinary civil one. The popular imagination represents it as the day upon which the book of life is opened in heaven. in which book the names of those who are to die during the coming year are inscribed. During the days intervening be- tween New Years day and the day of Atone- ment this book remains open to give those who have sinned chance to repent and to be inscribed for life and not for death. The popular greeting of this day is, "Mayest thou be inscribed for 8 good life"
 Ten days after New Years day falls the day of AtonementD for which the preceding festival has been vast preparation. It is or this day the custom to fast from evening to
 evening; the Jewish day always begins al sundown. The entire period of twenty y-four hours, or at least from the hour of regular morning service until sundown, is passed ir the synagogue, where solemn prayers, ser mons, selections from the Bible and the later Jewish literature and elaborated singing al- ternate in the service. It is the most solemn festival of the entire year.
 The cycle of festivals is brought to close by the ''Feast of Tabernacies," the first day of which falls upon October 3, and which lasts for eight days. It is commemorative of the time when the ancient Hebrews were compelled to live in booths during theil 1 wanderings in the desert.
 Saturday the mails carried hundreds oi New Years cards. To-day the Jewish peo. pie will close their stores and meet in the synagogues, and family reunions and gather ! ings. In the Court street and William street | temples there will be special services.

IN ILLUSIVE TRIUMPH.

The Salisbury Government has secured full
liberty of action in Ireland with unexpected

National League has not proved critical one,
although Mr. Gladstone, Sir George Trcvclyan
and Sir William Harcourt made Wig o.s and
incisive speeches Mr.. Balfour II pared
upon the scene with big budget of OK partc
information and confidential notes on tho
state of Ireland, and while he heavily dis
counted the value of his exhibits by his re-
fusal to lay the statistics before the House for
critical examination, he offered fair defence
of the Governments action. Lord Hartin gton
and Mr.. GOschen then succ ceded in whipping
in the main body Of the Unionists and the
division resulted in majority for the Gov
eminent Of rs. There were only six Unionist
deserters-Mr Chamberlain. Mr. Ceilings and
four more. The division was not large one,
only 466 members being present out of go.

FAREWELL TO THE CAR STOVE.

1t to be hoped that the railroad companies
Of the State are considering what they will do
when the cold weather arrives to make their
cars comfortable. The danger OF an increase
of colds and analogous disorders, If not, in
deed. of pneumonia as result OF the pro-
hibition of the stove car is one that needs to
be considered. Unless the railroads ar ready
promptly with whatever apparatus they pro
pose to adopt, the public will be subjected to
considerable annoyance. Just when howiing
nor'easter or an embryonic Dakota blizzard,
too full Of ardent emotion to wait the proper
ucriod of its maturity will burst upon us
cannot be accurately forctold, and the proper
thing for the railroads to do is to anticipate
all emergencies and have the machinery for
heating their trains all tested AMI OF ascer-
tanned value, ready for use before the fall
advances.
The Legislature did wis cly in banishing the
car stove. 1t was the worthy ally of the air
brakes that don't brake, and it is chiefly re-
sponsible for the dreadful cOnHagration horrors
attending railroad calamities. Besides, it was
clumsy and highly unsatisfactory method
of heating. Cars thus warmed were either
as cold as a polar blast or as hot as a simeon.
There seemed to be no way of regulating the
stove. frequently passengers in its vicinity
were toasting while their distant lows were
being frost-bittcn. How much better the
stoves substitutes will be remains to be seem
But if the problem of supplying heat for trains
without exposing pass myers to peril is not
vet fully solved, nothing will more surely
hasten the day of its solution than the ban
ishment Of the stove.
1t is time, too, for the Oil lamp TO receive
some legislative attention Thu VIC rst features
of the Chatsworth disaster were caused by
frcs resultant fro~a the lamps. If an over
thrown train escape, this danger. 1t can only
be through something akin to a providentiaI
intervention. When subjected to n severe
shock, the most obvious thing for a lamp TO
do is TO upset and after pouring its inllam-
mablc contents over everything TO apply the
torch and increase a thousand per cent the
pcrils and horrors of the accident. AS against
the prohibition Of the lamp the railroads
do not have even the arguments by which
they could reasonably oppose the movement
against The stove, for far better illumination,
as devoid Of danger as any method could be,
has been successfully devised. 1t is purely a
question of expense with the railroads, and
experience has shown that in many cases the
only way they can be Compiled to purchase
the safety of passengers at the expense Of
their treasury is through legislative enactment
The public is well rid of the stove. lis retire
ment must be shared by the lamp
